the end of the day

"Ji Yuhe?" Duan Zhichu repeated vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth.

The child nodded, and sat down in the room without seeing others.

Ji Yuhe has a face carved from jade, and his stature is too small, so it looks like he hasn't grown up.Not to mention that ambiguous temperament, the composition is obvious, so there is no need to ask.

Duan Zhichu seemed to wake up, and seemed to be sleepy again. He was sitting on the sofa blankly. There was no one at home. Has Yu Jiazhen already left?

Only then did he suddenly realize that he brought Ji Yuhe home with a hint of secret rivalry, just to make Yu Jiazhen feel blocked.

He wanted to open his mouth to ask Ji Yuhe if he wanted to be friends with him, but the idea was halfway through, and it was so ridiculous that he almost laughed out loud.Such a thing with unclean hands and feet and inconsistent appearance, even if it has been kept for ten or eight years, it can't be called a friend, let alone who would raise an actor as a friend?

Unable to laugh, Duan Zhichu put his arms around Ji Yuhe and pressed him on the bed: "Sleep."

Ji Yuhe twisted his body uncomfortably, blowing hot air in his ears: "There is no such thing as white sleep in the world."

Duan Zhichu was so sleepy at this moment that he couldn't listen to the words, so he just snorted softly: "Don't talk."

When it dawned, it was already late afternoon.Duan Zhichu opened his eyes wide as if returning to his soul, got up, and looked around, it was empty, only himself.

He hurried downstairs, just in time to bump into Yu Jiazhen who was coming home from school.

"What are you running for?" Yu Jiazhen smiled confusedly.

Duan Zhichu gasped in shock: "I, I, I just woke up."

Yu Jiazhen pursed her lips, still smiling slightly: "I just woke up when I just woke up, why do you seem to be frightened, have a nightmare?"

"No." Duan Zhichu pushed Yu Jiazhen back into the room, "Sit down."

Yu Jiazhen looked at him and blinked: "Have we seen less recently?"

"Ah?" Duan Zhichu was led by Ji Yuhe, but he still didn't come back to his senses, and said after a while, "Oh... I don't want to disturb your study."

"I know, you don't like reading, those things you like to play... I can't accompany you." Yu Jiazhen bowed his head, "My family is an ordinary family, not like yours - but you can always treat me as a friend."

"I know." Hearing this, Duan Zhichu's heart tensed inexplicably, the phantom of the heavy blow that no one was there when he returned home last night appeared like a ghost, and the cold air he sucked just now also came to haunt him, making him hiccup.

He hugged Yu Jiazhen: "Fortunately, you are still here."

Yu Jiazhen also raised his arm, and patted him lightly: "I've been here all the time, haven't I?"

"Nonsense, you weren't here yesterday." Duan Zhichu muttered.

Yu Jiazhen remained silent, propped up his forearm, and slightly pushed Duan Zhichu away.Duan Zhichu felt hindered, so he let go of his hand, and tilted his head in doubt: "What's wrong?"

"I treat you as a friend, you can't treat me as a thing." Yu Jiazhen lowered his eyes, "I'm entering the house."

Duan Zhichu wanted to follow in, but he caught a glimpse of Ji Yuhe's half head sneaking out at the corner of the corridor.Duan Zhichu saw that head, immediately became angry, walked up to him in a few steps, raised his foot and wanted to kick him: "Who the hell made you run around?"

Before Ji Yuhe was kicked, he took the initiative, covered his head and yelled: "I was wrong, I shouldn't run around, I was so hungry that I dared to take a few steps."

Duan Zhichu sneered: "I don't know your hands yet. If I can't see them, I don't know what I'm touching."

Ji Yuhe pouted pitifully, his eyes seemed to be red, and he could almost squeeze out tears: "I didn't touch anything, but I only touched boiled eggs in the kitchen and ate them."

He looked exactly like Yu Jiazhen from a few years ago, with a childish little face and two big eyes like glass beads, but he was much more cunning.Yu Jiazhen had never restrained himself before, and he had never shown such an expression, and Duan Zhichu almost looked stupid at this moment.

He suddenly got scared, he shouldn't have taken Ji Yuhe home.

Duan Zhichu stretched out his hand and pulled him up from the ground: "Let's go, eat something, I'll take you back."

Ji Yuhe followed behind him with his head drooping, and within two steps, he tugged at the hem of his clothes: "You take me back, it's a long way back and forth, why don't you spend the night there, the theater is always lively at night, come back tomorrow morning , not so tired."

Duan Zhichu didn't speak.

At this time, Yu Jiazhen heard the sound, went out to the corridor, just happened to bump into the two who were about to go downstairs, so he deliberately raised his voice: "Are you coming back at night?"

Duan Zhichu turned his head abruptly, and the corridor light illuminated Yu Jiazhen's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"I just woke up so hungry, I went downstairs and asked someone to make a bowl of noodles."

"I haven't eaten either." Yu Jiazhen followed.

"Then tell Mama Liu to make one more bowl." Duan Zhichu put his arm around Yu Jiazhen's shoulder, "Shall we go out together later?"

Yu Jiazhen shook his head; "I haven't been home for a long time."

Duan Zhichu curled his lips: "What's so good about your house? It's so far away, I don't even want to go there."

"There's nothing good, I have to go home." Yu Jiazhen felt uncomfortable, and glanced at Ji Yuhe, "Who is this?"

"Don't worry about him." Duan Zhichu was bored, but still thinking, "Then I'll drive you, otherwise how would you go?"

"You can go any way you want, and you can ask the driver to take you off. You don't need to drive yourself. It's not unknown for such a long distance."

Duan Zhichu squeezed Yu Jiazhen's shoulder: "I am willing."

Ji Yuhe had already slipped down the stairs first, but when he heard this, he raised his head to look at the two of them, and asked timidly, "Then what should I do?"

"You can do whatever you like, sleep in the guest room overnight, or go back to your home, anyway, I won't be back at night, and there is no one else at home, if I lose something when I come back—" Duan Zhichu glared at him fiercely, "I will call break your hand."

Ji Yuhe was not afraid of the fierce threat, instead he entered the small restaurant quite briskly and took a seat.

While rolling his eyes, he licked the bamboo chopsticks in his hand: "You are a magnanimous person, why do you always tease me here? If you don't lose anything in the end, I'm not the only one who is embarrassed."

Duan Zhichu felt guilty, so he just asked Yu Jiazhen what he wanted to eat, and got Yu Jiazhen's calm reply: "It's fine as usual."

Then he opened his mouth again: "If I didn't see them playing too much, I wouldn't bother to care about you."

"You must know those people—" Ji Yuhe showed an aggrieved look after hearing this, and finally argued, "I didn't provoke him for nothing, he is not a good guy!"

After hearing this excuse, Duan Zhichu slowly recalled that he probably had some impressions of those people at the mouth of Ji Yuhe.Through other people's mouths, he seemed to have indeed heard of some despicable activities, so he eased his attitude and said softly: "Eat first, and we will talk about other things later."

In the evening, he drove Yu Jiazhen out of the city, and Yu Jiazhen suddenly said, "Mom is back."

"What did you say?" Duan Zhichu pricked up his ears and asked carefully again as if he couldn't understand.

"I said, my mother is back." Yu Jiazhen answered patiently again, "Actually, she has been home for a while."

"Oh." Duan Zhichu didn't know what to say, "Congratulations."

"So it's really good to have a mother." Yu Jiazhen pursed her lips and paused, "Even if she wasn't there before, it's good to be back now. Duan Zhichu, you should come to my house to see."

Duan Zhichu was a little annoyed when he heard the words, probably not to Yu Jiazhen.

He knew that Yu Jiazhen really didn't treat him as an outsider.
